About Me

A year ago I finished a RTW trip that started in Europe, Middle East, Asia, Australia, NZ, Hawaii, California and just didn't want to stop!! But instead of going on I decided come back to Europe, visit my 98 year-old gradma and move back to Ireland to jump start a new career that will give me more freedom and mobility.

Adventurous and active, interested in many things. Outdoors lover. Endlessly enjoy sharing good moments with people :)

(Wave) Surfing is my passion!

I try to not let the current take me along, on water and land :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling I learned a lot of things about other cultures and about life in general.

Before being a member of CS, I was already a host and couchsurfer :)

I think that life pays you back with what you offer; if your heart is open and you have a good attitude toward people, things will happen for good.

Interests

Surfing, hiking, photography, yoga, rock climbing, snowboarding, and anything outdoors :) My newest addition is diving!

Meeting interesting people from all over the planet; Language and culture, esp. minority or endangered ones; Anything Fusion; The link between tradition and modernity, esp. in arts (music, dance, crafts)

Lots of music styles... instrumental, songwriter singer, folk, chill out, funk, pop rock would be most frequently on my playlist. To dance, electronic, ska, reggae, fusion of traditional and electronic!

Too many books, hard to tell... I mostly read while on any means of transportation (on paper and in audio format).

Independent movies, documentaries.

Teach, Learn, Share

I learn from people who share thoughts and experiences they are excited about. Anything told with passion is a learning for me.
